Biography
Siegfried von Feuchtwangen was born in Feuchtwangen, Franconia, Holy Roman Empire in 1266, and he was a relative of the former Grand Master Konrad von Feuchtwangen. He became Grand Master in 1303 after Gottfired von Hohenloe's abdication, and he conquered Gdansk from Poland in 1308 before taking Pomerelia, becoming Poland's strongest enemy. He later moved the Teutonic headquarters from Venice to Marienburg out of fear of the Pope exterminating the Teutonic Order as he had done to the Templar Order, and he died there in 1311.
